well, - religious toleration: french revolution basically wants to kill off the Catholic priests. Napoleon brought back Catholicism since there were still a lot of catholics in france but stripped its privileges. He was the first to emancipate the jews.

- His military conquest speeded up the abolition of feudalism across europe. Civil code is put in place in occupied regions.
